When a beloved high schooler named Lucinda Hayes is found murdered, no one in her sleepy Colorado suburb is untouched—not the boy who loved her too much; not the girl who wanted her perfect life; not the officer assigned to investigate her murder. In the aftermath of the tragedy, these three indelible characters—Cameron, Jade, and Russ—must each confront their darkest secrets in an effort to find solace, the truth, or both. In crystalline prose, Danya Kukafka offers a brilliant exploration of identity and of the razor-sharp line between love and obsession, between watching and seeing, between truth and memory. Compulsively readable and powerfully moving, Girl in Snow offers an unforgettable reading experience and introduces a singular new talent in Danya Kukafka.

0 0Girl in Snow A Novel by Danya Kukafka published by Simon & Schuster is a must read for anyone who is in need of a great mystery to read this summer! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC so thank you to Negalley the author and the publishing company. While this is not a 5 star read for me it is a solid 4. The story is centered around a murder of a young girl. Although it reads like a mystery I think the way the author sets up the chapters it is also an in-depth look at the three people from her town whose points of views the story is told from. Jade the insecure girl who hates Lucinda Hayes. Cameron the guy who “watched “ her, and Russ the cop who has his own turmoil that unravels throughout the story who wants nothing more than to bring a killer to justice.
Although this book is strongly based around the murder of this young girl it is also important to talk about how this small-town deal with death grieves the passing of this young girl and ultimately passes blame. The ending and the actual killer is a big shocker and after the first twenty percent this book goes real fast!
